I stumbled across a recipe last night for an apple chai latte that you mix up in the slow cooker & let it warm all day or night (if it lasts that long). While the recipe is not one I want to try...after all, who wants to make their OWN chai? With all of the tea mixes available, I see no reason not to use that shortcut! Since I do not own an actual teapot (to keep my steeped tea hot), I've been toying with the idea of using my slow cooker to keep my tea at the perfect sippable temperature in lieu of a teapot.
It's currently 9:15am, LSU football comes on at noon & I have a mountain of packing to do...I can't believe I'm moving in 3 weeks! Eeek! All that to say that I don't think a trip to the store is in the cards for me today...unless it's after football :)
Instead of apple chai, I think I'll just whip up some vanilla chai, add some coconut milk, of course, sugar & slow cook that baby! Hopefully, my house will smell wonderful & my tastebuds will be greatful :)
While this is not my picture, it sure looks tasty...and hopefully, mine will be just as gorgeous!
Crocktober Update:
~ Chai Latte turned out wonderful...sipped all morning then put the rest in the fridge to warm on another day.
~ Made chili...browned the meat on the stove, then dumped all the fixins in & slow cooked away...yummo!
~ Made homemade tortillas...totally awesome! Kept them warm in the slow cooker :) Ate those with the chili!
~ Cooking corn on the cob...tried wrapping the corn in wet paper towels instead of foil...we shall see :)
Love, love, lovin my slow cooker!!!
